What Does Pudding Mix Do In Cookies?
The dry pudding mix is the secret weapon in this recipe. 'It adds moisture, helps the cookies stay soft for days and gives them a slightly thicker texture.
That’s why pudding cookies are so popular, they’re almost impossible to dry out.
Cookies and Cream Tips
Chop the cookies and cream candy bars into small chunks so they distribute evenly in the dough.
I like chopping chocolate between two sheets of wax paper for easy cleanup.
Crush the Oreos into rough pieces. Mini Oreos require less chopping, but regular Oreos work just as well.
If you prefer, place the cookies in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Oreo Pudding Substitute
If you can’t find Oreo Cookies and Cream pudding mix, substitute vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix.
The cookies will still be soft and chewy, though slightly less Oreo-forward in flavor.
Oreo Pudding Cookie Dough Tips
Use an electric mixer or stand mixer for this dough. Once you add the cookie chunks and chopped candy bars, it becomes thick and heavy.
A sturdy hand mixer works, but a stand mixer makes the job easier.
This Cuisinart HM 50 is the best hand mixer for home bakers.
Storage and Make Ahead Instructions
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Or freeze, wrapped twice, for up to three months. See more about how to freeze cookies.

Cookies and Cream Cookies Recipe
Thick and chewy cookies and cream cookies made with Oreo pudding mix, crushed Oreos and white chocolate candy pieces. An easy drop cookie recipe with no chilling required.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, (two sticks) room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 pkg Oreo pudding mix (might be called Cookies and Creme)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped Oreo cookies (I used the miniature Oreos for less work)
- 1 cup chopped Cookies and Cream candy bars (I used Hershey's)
Instructions
Beat butter and sugars in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer until fluffy and pale yellow--at least three minutes on medium speed.
Add pudding mix and beat until combined.
Add eggs and vanilla extract.
Beat until combined.
Slowly add dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined.
Add chopped cookies and chocolate and mix on low until all the mix-ins have been thoroughly incorporated.
Preheat oven to 350F°.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a #40 cookie scoop or two teaspoons, portion out dough and place each ball two inches apart on cookie sheet.
These cookies will spread a bit so don’t bake more than 12 at a time.
Bake at 350F° for 12 to 15 minutes, Remember oven strength varies.
Pay attention to how they smell. If they smell done, they probably are.
Let rest on cookie sheet for two minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Makes 48 two-inch cookies.
Dough can be frozen for up to three months.
Notes
If you can't find the Oreo pudding mix, substitute vanilla or chocolate pudding mix.
